Add or delete game page help


On this page you have the option to create a new game or delete an old one.

To create a new game enter the gamename into the textbox to the right of the Add Game button and press the button.
The gamename is the short name for the game, the name that will be used for game player files and game turn files.
Do not mistake this for the game title which can be anything else.
As an example we can take a game with the gamename NGC3 and the gametitle Newbie Galactic Combat3, then you should add the text NGC3 in the textbox before you press the button.

After making a game a new directory named the same as the gamename will be created in the games folder.
If you return to the index choose game page you will see a new game named the same as what you entered in the add new game text box.
Do not make two games with the same gamename, you may have as many games with the same game title as you wish, but not two with the same gamename. Game names are case insensetive.

The title of the game will change after the game host has entered a new title in the game admin screen, but the game name cannot be changed after a game is set up.
If the gamename is wrong you'll have to delete the game and make a new one.



Next there is the Delete Game button. In the textbox to the right of the button you must enter the exact gamename that you wish to delete, not the gametitle. Note that gamenames are case insensetive.


Below these two fields are a button to return to the site admin page and a button to return to the index choose game page.
